Philadelphia-area unionists are planning a day of skill-building workshops, education, and strategy discussions to put some movement back in the labor movement. The goal is to help workers get active in resisting management attacks—and taking the fight on the offensive. In other words: to make “good trouble.”
The school will be a great opportunity for union members and other workplace activists to share strategies and build the solidarity required in these tough times.
Workshop materials and plentiful snacks are included with cost of registration. »

As one participant noted, they had not before thought through the power relationships entailed in debt. And we began to explore how to undo some of the myths that surround debt and limit our imagination and demands. »
